~Day 230: Music Therapy

I just played the piano for an hour tonight...Very rare for me for the last few years. Ok, more than a few.  A lot of years.  It's so therapeutic.  I wasn't playing anything hard.  I was playing old familiar flowy and soothing songs.  The kids were getting ready for bed.  And then kids were hopefully sleeping in their bed through the 'noise.'  But I kept playing anyway.   I don't do that enough.   I hope my kids decide they want to continue learning and also enjoy it, without me forcing them to. 

I remember laying in bed at night when I was younger and listening to my mom or dad play and I would fall asleep to that.  I guess I was hoping my kids were doing the same tonight.  They kind of had a rough night.  All of us had a rough night.  I hope the music soothed them even a little bit.  I know it helped me.   I love my monkeys.
